A Case of Necessity.

Ono expects a certain amount Of "guff" in
newspapers. A particular class of writers de-
light to strike false chords of sentiment and
gush Here's an incident witnessed myself,
which has tho merit of truth. l was coming
back from Jersey City. The ferry boat was
about to enter the slip, when man near tho
forward door Of tho smoking cabin got up
and said:
"Mates, I'm workingman, like tho rest of
yez. I've got wife and three children homo
today, starving. I'll grub for a living, do
anything an honest man can, but want ye
to help mo now to tide me over the night"
Several voices exclaimed, "Shut up; sit
down; we've heard that BEFORE" The man
kept his feet and faced the crowd Us it poured
through the door. There was nothing of the
professional beggar about him, he looked like
what lie undoubtedly was-a striking coal
handler | saw ono passenger give him q
silver dollar. Many others gave up smaller
coins. fingered behind and heard gentle
man take down the fellows name and address
and offer him work; then tho bcggar was left
alone in tho cabin. knew the world and
was suspicious. went back and looked into
tho cabin window, expecting to see tho
"workingman" counting out his money and
preparing for raid OH the next boat load.
Tho poor fellow was down OH his knees before
n seat, with his head buried in his hands.
sobbing like child. I felt particularly
small and sncaked off the boat The moral
of this is: Don't necessarily blackguard a
man because he is compelled to strike-New

Gathering Spruce Gum,

Spruce gum is obtained in the forests of
Canada, Maine, New Hampshire, and Yer
mont. The gum gathorcrs go many miles
into the forest, erect rude cabins, and each
ono remains until he has gathered 100
pounds. He carries it homo, whcrc tho
women and children clean it from oil its i'm
purities. such us bark, twigs, and other for
eign substances, and sort it into the different
grades, all of which are known to the young
est child in the business. 1t is u big DAYS
work for woman to clean and sort ten
pounds. While the household is cleaning his
collection tho gum gutlcrer returns to the
woods and works until lie hus another butch.
and getting it is not easy or rapid work. The
gathcrers go through the woods looking at
the virgin spruces When the gum that
forms on the outside of tho trees is once re-
moved the tree will never again yield enough
to mako it worth the while of the gatherer to
visit it. So he must hunt out the trees that
have escaped the notice of his class during all
the years the woods have been searched by
them.
The gum gatherer carries stout pole
which is in sections like jointed fishing rod.
AT ono end Of the pole chiscl is fitted snugly
to the wood. Beneath tho chiscl is n Gun
holding half pint. When tho gatherer dis
covers mass of gum OH tree, no matter
how high it may be, ho runs his chisel up
against it and cuts it OFF when it falls into the
cup. 1t is then placed in an oiled bag slunp
across the back of the gatherer. So slow IS
the accumulation by the collector, ordinarily.
that he considers himself fortunate il he
gathers 100 pounds month.-Ncw York

Tho Chestnut Bell outdone.

The inventor of the chestnut bell was be-
fore the patent Office yesterday cnlcavoring
to patent nn improvement on his previous
atrocious invention. Tho improvement con-
sists of an attachment, which will probably
give a new lease Of life to tho now obsolete
chestnut bell. Tho new device consists Of an
elastic band connected with tho bell, but fas-
tened to tho other side of the waistcoat.
When the bell is struck miniature rat runs
across the breast of the wearcr and stops in
full view Of the victim. To make it more
effective, tho word "rats" in white letters on
q black background is inscribed on the
rat. Tho inventor wanted patent that
would cover not only the device, but tho
word "rats" also, his idea being to prevent
any infringement on this expression. After
due deliberation the examiner decided that so
necessary q word US "rats" was not patentable
and declined to grant tho monopoly to the
entcrprising inventor. Tho other features of
the device were favorably acted upon.-

Little Time for Waiting.

A Cambridge lady was surprised the other
day by the information from her cook that
shc was going to leave in the morning "But,
Mary" her mistress said in surprise and con-
sternation, what arc you going off this way
fort What is the trouble!' ooh, its no
trouble Mt all, mum" was the reply; "only
Pat came over last sight and said there was
going to boa tie up on tho cars, and that
would give him time to get married; so we're
going to be married tomorrow night, and Ill
be wanting tomorrow to getme things ready
and help Pat fix up the rooms we're going to
live in But you ought to give me time to
find another girl,' the mistress persisted,
although she perceived plainly enough the
uselessness of remonstrance. $50 told Pat,

One never hears of II tourist going a second
time to bnsk in the splcndors OF tropical seen
cry The reason for this BECAUSE not toput
too fine n point upon it, there is no tropical
scenery. The south las its magnificent mag
nolias, with their dark green, glossy leaves
and dazzling white flowers, its pines and its
palnlettos its fragrant orange trees, its never
fading flood of moonlight, turning night into
day, and the phosphorescent sen into u blaz-
ing mirror; but j, has no scenery. The gen
eral aspect Of every southern landscape upon
which my eyes have rested, from Charleston,
S. c., to Pcrnnnbuco, in Brazil, is that Of {,
gray, coloiless, dead and dying waste of veg
citation, in which there is nothing attractive
or even to!erable
The magnolia, separated from its natural
associates OF gray moss and dead creepers,
and transplanted to the lawn, becomes Il
splendid tree with the landscape gardeners
care: but Il single treo is not scenery. Con
sidcred sinsly, there are many beautiful now-
ers shrubs and trees in the hot latitudcs: but
collectively, III its natural state, the southern
forest is II dreary, sunburncd jungle. 1t can
not for IA moment be compared to the bright
ness and freshness of our northern deciluous
trees, OF even our perennial pines. s.-Dctroit

Bonnets and Their rr,mm,nr..

French millners have decreed that q ladies,
bonnet must match her costume, and while
many American women will not observe this
rule, it will doubtless prevail to some extent.
The new straw bonnots already in the shop
windows have evidently been made with q
view to matching costumes In color, a. they
are out in all the new shades seen In dress
goods. Bonnets Of black lace and black
beaded Spanish not over the foundations Of
primrose. pink, sea green or cherry satin are
worn by fashionable ladies at the present
time. Loops Of velvet Of tho darkest mos
green are used to trim some Of the new bon
nets and these are lined with spinach or
apple green satin, the flowers used with these
trimmings being pale green hops aud pink
roses. Pointed effects are noted in the pro-
ductions OF both milliners and dressmakers.
This Is achieved by trimmings being so folded
as to form point at the top.
